Ratings and reviews

A twist ending you'll see coming from a mile away, though some aspects don't make a lot of sense. This should have definitely been a movie that went straight to television... Or Netflix

3 and a half to 4. This is a film to really focus on, as I might need a second viewing. I was expecting a scarier ending, but with crazy imagery and story still there it works.

This is one of the best phychlogical horror movies ever, if not THE best. There are so many movies and video games inspired by this movie. It just was a little too early for the times
